Used car website Motors.co.uk has launched a UK-wide competition to find outstanding
people in local communities who help others. The Most Deserving competition winner,
nominated by a friend or family member, will receive a car worth £10,000, plus a
donation of £2,500 to a registered charity of their choice.

Motors.co.uk’s Most Deserving competition is looking for entries nominating people
who have made outstanding contributions to a local charity, or community project;
people who have changed someone’s life for the better; people who selflessly give
up their time to help a neighbhour, or who simply work tirelessly helping others.

The competition is a good opportunity for charities and community groups to recognise
some of their volunteers.

Phill Jones, Commercial Director at Motors.co.uk, said: “As well as providing the
winner with a valuable, useful prize in a car from our wide range, we want to celebrate
all the thousands of people who contribute so much to our local communities by sharing
their unique stories.”

The competition is being held in two rounds. The first stage is open to nominations
where anyone can nominate anyone they choose. Images and links to other media will
be requested to help tell the nominee’s story.

The [Most Deserving Panel at Motors.co.uk](http://mostdeserving.motors.co.uk) will
then choose finalists from all the regions of the UK, and the general public will
then be invited to vote for their favourites. The three finalists with the most 
votes will then be assessed by the Panel who will announce the winner.

The competition is open for nominations until 5 March 2012. Its Twitter hashtag 
is [#MotorsWinaCar](https://twitter.com/#!/search/%23MotorsWinaCar).
